66. C-43 (Vallencourt) OakLeaf High School Guaranteed Maximum Price Bid Package 2
Attachment: OHS GMP 2.pdf
Minutes: Mrs. Vallencourt pulled the item for visibility due to the high dollar amount.  It was related that the bid package actually came in lower than anticipated.  There was discussion about whether the contingency should be included within the contract.  This would allow encumberances up front within the contents of the contract rather than changes coming before the Board for approval in the form of Change Orders.

Motions:
Approve OakLeaf High School Guaranteed Maximum Price Bid Package 2 with a revision to remove the $910,731.00 contingency funds commitment from the contract.- PASS
